Notable:Grier committed to Florida back in December of 2012 and is enrolled early at Florida this January.

Grier’s high school accolades are astounding. He was named Mr. Football by the USAToday and the Parade Player of the Year after throwing for 195 touchdowns (77 as a senior) and 14,559 passing yards during his career. Grier’s career highlights include a game where he set the national single game record for most passing yards in a game with 837 yards during his junior season. He threw for 10 touchdowns in the game.

Grier is the next guy up at Florida. It is presumed that Jeff Driskel will be the starting quarterback at the University of Florida in 2014 but Grier is next in line. If Driskel were to go down with an injury the freshman would be tasked with taking over and leading the Gators and he is the future of Florida football.

Quotable: Andrew Spivey caught up with Will Grier following Florida’s loss to South Carolina and asked the quarterback what his message was to the rest of the recruiting class and how he was helping to keep the class together during a difficult season.

“The guys we got understand the adversity we are going through and understand that Florida has a great program and that we have a lot of young guys on the team and we are going to be good in the future. I’m just trying to reassure them of that and get them fired up about Florida.”

About Nick de la Torre

A South Florida native, Nick developed a passion for all things sports at a very young age. His love for baseball was solidified when he saw Al Leiter’s no-hitter for the Marlins live in May of 1996. He was able to play baseball in college but quickly realized there isn’t much of a market for short, slow outfielders that hit around the Mendoza line. Wanting to continue with sports in some capacity he studied journalism at the University of Central Florida. Nick got his first start in the business as an intern for a website covering all things related to the NFL draft before spending two seasons covering the Florida football team at Bleacher Report. That job led him to GatorCountry. When he isn’t covering Gator sports, Nick enjoys hitting way too many shots on the golf course, attempting to keep up with his favorite t.v. shows and watching the Heat, Dolphins and Marlins.
